This is the fight I would like to see. SM is a perfectly sized middle weight at this point of his career and I think he is too big for floyd and pacquiao. I believe he beats both of them based on his size. I also think would kill any top 154'er in the game right now also, too big and too much skill. AA is an amazing matchup for martinez and a fight the fans can get up for. 2 perfectly equal sized men with top notch talent. Bring it on!!! Who you got?
I think this is a very close fight... AA made a bad decision going up to 168. He can't compete at the top level of smw the competition is way too big. 160 is the weight for him. Same with martinez @ 168 he would get slaughtered. AA is undefeate @ 160 for good reason. His defense size & speed made sense at that weight... Sleep if you want but this is the premier fight @ 160 for now
It's not. Yeah, because he hardly fought any decent fighters. It's not. The best fight to be made is probably Martinez vs Pirog or Chavez JR, certainly not Arthur Abraham.
Sergio wins a boring 12 round UD on workrate by tapping AAs guard with combos the whole night. AA is the best feather Sergio could put on his cap if he can't get Cotto/Margo or Pac/Floyd. Having AA on his resume would be far better than having Pirog for Sergio.
It is possible. AA prolly has about the same workrate as Barker but he has over twice the power. If AA would have hit SM with the shots Barker did, Sergio would have been in deep trouble. I am a huge SM fan but Im not really sold on either his durability nor his chin.
As is the case in many Abraham fights, he has the chance to knock his opponent senseless, but the chance that he gets outboxed far exceeds that.
